The solid performance also persists in Premier League as they are eight points clear at the summit of the points table from second-placed Manchester City. Liverpool shared a thriller in the previous fixture against Southampton where they came from 2-1 trial to 2-3 victory, thanks to Mohamed Salah’s late brace.
